    Unisa BSc in Computing Review (2024)

    How much did the degree cost roughly? I know you pay per module and it depends on the modules but a rough estimate per year if you did it in 4 years

    I have no idea, once I qualify my pay will be around 12k-14k without post apprentice experience. What is entry-level dev pay from your experience ?

    This might be true but we have similair issues. The pay for qualified artisans in ratio with what we have to deal with isn't that great. I see plenty of ads where they want qualified electricians,diesel mechanics with 8 years experience on everything under the sun but then offer 15k-20k There...

    This is the only thing that scares me a bit. Alot of people want to get into developing although not all of them end up doing it. How is the market really ?

    What I mean when I talk about programming related to my career I mean primitive programming for machines like ladder programming just to get machines to run. When I talk about being interested in soft dev I more so refer to programming/building apps and programs using fleshed out languages...

    Will do, I bought my arduino before I even started this position with the idea of somehow working towards more fulltime programming role and have been playing around with it since then just don't have a specific goal to work towards so just mindlessly learning to program it.

    Yes this pretty much answers my question in that respect. I have read a lot on how artisans/engineers make good programmers in respect to hardware/electrical systems but wasn't really sure how I would go about going from a millwright to that other then becoming a PLC programmer for factories.

    Definitely, that's why I thought completing the trade and then pivoting my career towards software developing would be a good idea but I wasn't sure how or what type of developing would be a good fit for that so I posted on here.

    Advice Millwright to Software Developer

    Very insightful take me being a millwright(electromechanician) your degree is basically the much upgraded version and would be logical next step if I keep this career. Just to get some clarity you are basically a fulltime PLC programmer or what is the total scope of what you do? I'm definitely...

    I really appreciate your response and the responses from all the other members it's given me motivation that I might pull this off and given me a sense of direction on how to really go about this without which I think I might have just wished I did without really taking action.
